Hello ,

I have a label whose text is like

 abcd , cdef , efg , ijk , lmn <pre>

i need to get the part before the first occurrence of ' , ' ie abcd. 

 i thought of using string.split() or string.substring() but it's not generic as i need to have the position of the characters which i don't have. i need something generic.

This should work:

C#

string input = "abcd , cdef , efg , ijk , lmn";

string[] splitString = input.split(',');

string result = splitString[0].Trim();
